Ellison Bets On Pure Speed For Next America's Cup - Forbes: "The $1 million AC45 cats—all built to Oracle Racing specifications at a New Zealand yard—are just for training purposes. The real competition will come in the final elimination series, called the Louis Vuitton Cup, where teams that can raise the expected $50 million to play will be racing 72-foot catamarans with 132-foot-tall wing sails that look like they’ve been ripped from a Boeing 737. The guess is they’ll hit 40 knots (46mph) with a crew of 11 hanging on for dear life. The last single-hulled boats to compete in the America’s Cup, carrying 17 crew, rarely broke 14 knots."
